A Day at the Races - by Sean Boyce

40" x 60" Oil on Canvas - 2015 - $1950

"This piece was inspired (partially ) by a place called Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia, California. We had an art show on the grounds of the track and when I took a break and went into the gambling area and then out to the track itself I was quite moved. "The Folly and Hubris of Man" is a phrase that popped into my head among many other thoughts. A giant exhibit of old photos of races involving the famous horse "Sea Biscuit" were on display in the lobby as well and they were very beautiful.An interesting component to the painting itself is that the representational image of the horse race covers another abstract painting. The painting " A Day At The Races" was exhibited a handful of times at Venice Beach in 2014. The title of the abstract painting is " Sub Molecular Structural Sub Patterning Details - or - Part 1A section 10.5.23 of The Meaning Of Life". Yea. Heavy." - Sean Boyce
